WampServer

Just installed wampserver2 and got it working on Vista Business.

I had to use port 8081 as 80 would not work.

When I type localhost/ in the browser, it takes me to an IIS7 Page
on c:\inetpub\wwwroot

When I type in localhost:8081/index.php it surely takes me to the apache\www folder on my thumb drive.

How do I make windows NOT use Locahost for IIS, I am not using IIS at all

TIA

Dan

first check if there is any services running on port 80 and if not change the port which apache listens to

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, open file hosts in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc and make sure you have only this line and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply...

When I Originally installed the wamp server, I checked port 80 and it stated
no one was using it, but it never worked with port 80. Changed to 8081 to
make it work.

IIS has never been installed.
IIS was never on, btw, I just checked again and no ISS services are installed.

Also 127.0.0.1 localhost is in that file.

When running PHPMyAdmin I get the following error and it is not looking
in the proper location. Wampserver is installed on Thumbdrive M:\
Notice it is using port 80, do I need to change this to 8081 in some ini file?

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed,
or is temporarily unavailable.

this path for iis; to work w/ wamp, your html, especially php script has to be in document root dir for wamp which is c:/wamp/www dir ;-)

Ok, maybe I am just stupid here.

Wampserver is installed on Drive M:\

phpadmin always gives me this error

Module IIS Web Core
Notification MapRequestHandler
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x80070002
Requested URL [localhost:80]
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpmyadmin\
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous


These two items are not correct

Requested URL [localhost:80]
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpmyadmin\

I am using port 8081 and physical path is m:/wampp/
ISS is NOT and has NEVER been installed

Also >c:/wamp/www dir< from the previous response.
I do not have a c:/wamp/www dir, I have a M:/wamp/www


How do I change to reflect the correct information?

Ok so that means your system has Microsoft IIS installed among other things, they are doing that on later versions of Windows for some reason. If you are not intending to use it you can uninstall it, it is not an integral part of windows so its being uninstalled wont effect normal operations of windows, and if you need to install it again later, it comes as part of the standard OS so you wont need to do anything perticularly clever.

So go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Click the 'Turn windows features on and off' link in the left hand menu.
Wait for the list to load and then find 'Internet Information Services'

Un check the check boxes for the following items ( you may not see all of them )

1. IIS
2. Web Deploy 2.0
3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.

Windows will then have a think for a while and then remove those applications, you will probably be asked to reboot to complete the uninstalls.
Reboot anyway when the uninstalls are complete.

Then try wamp again.


Alternativeley just disable it.

Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

Find IIS in the list of services.
Left Click that line and select Properties
Change the 'Startup Type' to disabled.

You may need to tdo this to MS Sql Server Reporting as well.
